Hallow Dear,

Unwanted 72 is a very reliable emergency post coital contraceptive when taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual intercourse. You have taken the pills within 3 hours of the sex. So you should not be concerned about the pregnancy.

Usually, a few days after the consumption of these pills, there is some amount of bleeding for a day or two. Not an issue to be worried about. Even the following menses may get delayed by few days to a week or so. This is a known phenomenon.

I feel, you should not be worried about pregnancy. Stress also delays the menses.

If your menses are delayed for more than a week, you may perform pregnancy test on overnight early morning first urine sample.

If at all there is pregnancy, it can be easily terminated by Medical methods up to 9 weeks of gestation.

I hope this removes your stress.
